Andrews Sykes take silver in 7-a-side football tournament

Posted Date 24/05/2016

On Sunday 22^nd May, a squad of eight Andrews Sykes employees took part in the annual Executive Box holder football tournament held at The Valley. The team had always been eliminated at the knock-out stage in previous years, but there was widespread hope that things would be different in 2016!

A 2-1 victory against Greenwich Inc in the opening group game virtually sealed semi-final qualification after the same team could only draw against Hadlow College. A narrow loss at the hands of Hadlow therefore proved irrelevant but meant Andrews Sykes would face the much-fancied Royal Borough of Greenwich in the penultimate round.

Andrews Sykes sponsor Wolves v Charlton clash

Posted Date 02/09/2015

As Andrews’ 50^th anniversary celebrations now reach the latter stages, it was perhaps fitting that we were able to sponsor the match between Wolves and Charlton that took place during the last weekend of August.

Once again senior directors and employees descended upon the very city in which the company was originally established, with founder John Andrews also attending as special guest for the afternoon. Even now, Andrews Sykes retain strong links with Wolverhampton and recently moved our headquarters from Darlington Street to state-of-the-art premises nearby in St. David’s Court.

Andrews Air Conditioning were delighted to sponsor the Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s charity gig for a second successive year– this time headlined by Manchester pop rock group Rixton. The event was staged in Greenwich and attended by a near sell-out crowd, as thousands flocked to the Indigo at the O2 in spite of city-wide Tube strikes.

Popular acts Zuriel and Autumn Sharif preceded the main act before Rixton were introduced by radio presenter Dave Berry.

The lucky winners of our various competitions had the chance to meet the musicians as well as a number of Charlton players who also turned up on the night. All were very happy to mingle with guests and pose for photographs in the VIP lounge – with our paper fans once again getting in on the act!

We are delighted to be sponsoring the Charlton Athletic Community Trust’s annual gig at the Indigo Arena, which will this year be headlined by Rixton on Thursday 9^th July. Local artist Autumn Sharif – who made her breakthrough on The Voice – will also be supporting Rixton on the night having recently made her own big strides in the music industry.

CACT is renowned for its commitment to empowering individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, using the power of football as a central focus. As the Trust’s back of shirt sponsors, Andrews Air Conditioning are extremely excited to be involved in proceedings for a second successive year.

Andrews Sykes are delighted to confirm that our branding will feature on Charlton Athletic’s official kit during the 2015-16 campaign – for a fourth successive season. The deal further strengthens our relationship with the club and is something we are excited to announce following an encouraging twelve months on the pitch.

Once again the Andrews Air Conditioning logo will feature on the back of the red home shirt, while Andrews Heat for Hire will appear on the yet to be seen away strip. The University of Greenwich are set to remain Charlton’s principle sponsors, and the institution’s emblem will sit on the front of all shirts as seen last season.

Wolves versus Charlton Athletic: proudly sponsored by Andrews Sykes

Posted Date 26/01/2015

As part of the company’s extended effort to recognise and commemorate our 50^th anniversary, senior directors and employees descended upon Wolverhampton on Saturday 24 January – the city in which Andrews was established more than half a century ago.

The business has extremely close links with the area – as well as South East London – so it was perhaps fitting that when Charlton visited Molineux that afternoon, we sponsored the match and took members of staff along for the day.

Special guest and company founder John Andrews was also in attendance, almost thirty years after retiring as CEO.

On Thursday 16^th October, several members of Andrews Sykes staff were joined by more than 160 corporate guests at the “Give Youth a Chance” launch at the Valley.

The initiative was set up to help adolescents in South East London and Kent find employment through various channels. It aims to bring private, public and charitable sectors together to tender the skills and knowledge acquired of their respective industries.

Charlton Chief Executive Katrien Meire was also present at the event and delivered a speech to attendees confirming the club’s support of the scheme.
